Ever since F1 ignited the concept of introducing sprint races into the sport over the 2021 season, it has been highly appreciated by almost the entire F1 community. Ferrari’s newest driver, Carlos Sainz is also keen on welcoming the sprint races this year. But his enthusiasm for this, comes with a ting of concern. 

In a recent interview Carlos Sainz spoke about the possible drawback of the sprint race. According to Motorsport Week, Sainz opened up that sprint races can be an interesting addition to the rather straightforward F1 race weekends.

“For me, I think that until we try it, we don’t know,” Sainz said. “I think it’s one of those things that until you get a fresh go at it, you’ll never know exactly how it goes. Personally, I think it’s super important that the main race doesn’t lose value.”

The Ferrari driver is wary of the main race losing its value following the sprint race’s entry into Formula 1. “I think there’s the danger that sometimes there can be two winners in a Grand Prix weekend. And we need to make sure that there’s only one winner from what we’ll end up doing with the double race,” he said. 

“For the rest, I think if there’s any year where we should try it. It’s 2021. Looking at the future ahead, I think it’s a good opportunity to try these things and see how it goes.” 

Having said that, with support consolidating for the sprint race, the likelihood of F1 witnessing a makeover to the usual race weekend this year is shining bright.
